Four hour trip. About 45 minutes to fishing spot where bite was on immediately and never stopped. We didn't need to move . Four of us caught over 75 fish, mostly snapper under 30cm, several over. Plus some mackerel, a JT and a yellowtail. A lot of fun and captain worked hard keeping us baited and taking our fish off.
Thank you for your review. We hope you had a wonderful time on our shared boat trip.
We live in California but fish all over, and were pleasantly surprised with how much fun we had on a quick 1/2 day charter. Captain Michael was great and put us on the fish pretty quickly. Its a beautiful run out to the fishing grounds as well. I was even able to land a King Fish on some light tackle…super fun! We had a cooler full at the end of the afternoon we were able to donate to the wonderful folks at The Kai Ika Project. Absolutely recommend this charter company.
Thank you so much, Samantha, for taking the time to leave such a fantastic review. We're really glad you enjoyed the half-day charter and had such a great time on the water. Landing a Kingfish on light tackle is always exciting! Captain Michael will be very happy to hear your kind words. We also truly appreciate your support for The Kai Ika Project. Thank you for recommending Ocean Catch, we'd love to welcome you back again in the future.
Michael & Isabella are amazing hosts. We came from Sydney to try the famous fishing in NZ and they delivered. The spot they took us to had an abundance of snapper, every cast was a bite! On top of that, Michael was very knowledgable and helpful. We recommend anyone who wants to geniunely catch a lot of fish to go with them!
Thanks Jason, we're really glad you enjoyed the trip.
Isabelle and her team took great care of us and we had an awesome time out on the water. caught more fish than we could count….wish some of them had been big enough to keep! thanks for accommodating our limited schedule and showing us some of the beautiful areas near the port.
Professional captain, fishing boat, and equipment! We use real fish as bait. We've been out at sea for two days—luckily, the weather has been great and the sea is calm. No need to say more—just take a look at my photos.
Hi Cheng, Thank you for the amazing review! We're glad you enjoyed the trip, great weather, and awesome fishing. This is exactly what we aim to deliver every time, real bait, quality gear, and a great day out on the water. Your photos say it all! Hope to see you back again soon. Ocean Catch Team

Capt. Mila runs trips out of Auckland aboard a 28' Catch Extreme 850. These waters are known for Pink Snapper and Trevallies and she will show you how to catch them, whether you're jigging or bottom fishing. With years of experience, she has a trick or two up her sleeve, and the only way to learn is to join her out on the water!
